Product application: Once any applied primer has dried (see technical data sheet), filling can be undertaken with ESCOSIL®-2000-UW. Using a caulking gun, extrude ESCOSIL®-2000-UW into the prepared joint. Then smooth the applied sealant before it forms a skin, with a suitable tool and water containing a surfactant. This process ensures the material is pressed into the joint and at the same time pressed against the contact surfaces. Do not expose to water contact until after 4 days at the earliest. Follow the general rules for producing elastic joints.
Properties: • 1 component • Acetic cross-linking • Elastic • High level of fungicide • Resistant to chemicals and chlorine • Weather-, UV- and ageing-resistant • Watertight • For walls and floors

6 Subsequent smoothing
Application: The surfaces with which the sealant will be in contact must be dry (concrete < 4% moisture), clean, dust free as well as free from all substances, which act as separating agents (e.g. oil, paint residues, sealants, cement slurries, grout residues etc.). Whilst ESCOSIL®-2000-UW hardens, no moisture may be allowed to penetrate from the edges or the base of the joint. Only expose to water contact after 4 days at the earliest!
